Nurse-Family Partnership Program

Page Content

Nurse-Family Partnership is a free community healthcare program that provides pregnancy and parenting support to first-time mothers from nurses who visit their homes beginning in early pregnancy through the child's second birthday.

Baylor Scott & White Health is proud to partner with
Nurse-Family Partnership to offer these services locally through the support of Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Hillcrest.

Services

Our registered nurses routinely visit first-time moms — along with the father and other family members if available — in their homes to engage in activities within the program goals: improved pregnancy outcomes; Improved child and health development; and improved maternal life course development.

Prenatal Care

Ideally, visits begin early in the second trimester. Registered nurses visit the home weekly for the first month after enrollment and then every other week until the baby is born.

Visits focus on:

The importance of routine prenatal care

Reducing use of cigarettes, alcohol and illegal drugs

Healthy nutrition during pregnancy

Child Health and Development

Registered nurses visit the home weekly for the first six weeks after your baby is born and then every other week through your child's first birthday. Visits continue every other week until the child is 20 months. The last four visits are monthly until your child is 2 years old.

An important component of the program is to teach mother to keep their lives on track and develop a vision for their own future.

Throughout the in-home visits, our nurses will help mothers:
